LIFESTYLE LETTER

Sense of Place There’s something about summer that awakens the desire to explore. To book the trip, chase inspiration, step outside our routines and experience something new. And while this issue certainly celebrates travel in the traditional sense, it also became, unexpectedly, about discovering what already exists right here around us. At the center of that feeling is our cover story on Brentwood’s own Jenni Kayne, who has quietly transformed a distinctly westside way of living into one of the most influential lifestyle brands to emerge from Los Angeles. The relaxed sophistication, natural textures, understated luxury and indoor-outdoor ease that define her world are all deeply rooted in California, yet they now resonate globally through her fashion, interiors and wellness empire. In many ways, Jenni has helped define how people everywhere envision modern style and living in LA. What struck me most while working on the story was how much that ethos extends beyond design. It’s reflected in the way we move through our lives here—in mornings at the Brentwood Country Mart, dinners that stretch into warm evenings, canyon walks beneath oak trees and the constant balance between city energy and coastal calm. There’s a certain effortless beauty to life in Los Angeles, and this issue became a celebration of all the ways our city allows us to experience different cultures, aesthetics and inspirations without ever leaving Southern California. Within these pages, you’ll find a little piece of Paris at Maison Sisley and a taste of Tokyo at Sora Temaki Bar. Luxury travel advisor Sinem Brown of SS Gold creates beautifully curated escapes abroad, while Sean Shilleh of LAX Valet Service reminds us that even navigating one of Los Angeles’ most notoriously stressful experiences can feel seamless and elevated with the right touch. We also meet Emily Doskow of Webb & Baker, whose thoughtful estate management services allow clients to travel freely while knowing the places—and lives—that ground them are being looked after with extraordinary attention and care. Of course, summer travel always carries a certain romance. But this issue also reminded me how fortunate we are to live here. California is more than a destination—it’s a feeling. A mindset rooted in beauty, nature, creativity and connection. So wherever this summer takes you, I hope this issue encourages you to appreciate the beauty of exploration in all its forms. Because no matter how far we roam, there’s something very special about returning to the place that inspires us most.

Ahead of the Curve Sora Temaki Bar’s inventive openfaced hand rolls

Sora Temaki Bar brings premium ingredients, flowing cocktails and one of Brentwood’s liveliest new dining scenes to the westside

The Brentwood space is anchored by a 36-seat sushi bar

The corner of Barrington and San Vicente in Brentwood continues to boom, and this summer is no exception. The flurry of openings has included La La Land, Layla Bagels (coming soon) and Malou Coffee, drawing crowds that spill out onto the sidewalks. Sandwiched in between, two more newcomers have arrived, but this is not matcha lattes or bagels. The latest culinary duo comes in the form of just-opened swanky hand roll spot Sora Temaki Bar and Tavlin, a convivial sibling eatery specializing in Middle Eastern fare with a market component, launching later this summer. The new dining destinations may be unique to the area, but the owner is certainly not a novice to the restaurant scene. Vincent Benoliel is the founder of Savta Hospitality, which includes Sora, Savta, The French Crepes and Pasta Corner at The Original Farmers Market at The Grove, and Michelina Bakery, which also has a location at The Americana at Brand. The concept behind Sora centers around a uniquely u-shaped, open-faced temaki-style hand roll filled with warm sushi rice and pristine seafood, but this is far from a traditional sushi bar. The menu showcases premium Japanese fish such as toro, yellowtail, lobster and Ora King salmon, as well as Wagyu, crispy rice, sashimi, and crudo, alongside inventive vegan options including Japanese eggplant and Sanmaruko croquette hand rolls. Standouts include the Kumamoto red snapper with cilantro, olive oil, truffle salt, spicy yuzu and cucumber as well as a decadent trio of toro, Hokkaido

Vincent Benoliel

“I use premium supplies, produce and most of my fish is flown in from the Tokyo or Kyoto fish markets in Japan, along with my rice and seaweed. The quality is everything.” CONTINUED > JULY 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/B REN T WO O D L A

The bar area

uni and caviar. Throughout the menu, beautifully simple preparations allow the ingredients to speak for themselves. Cocktails, sake, wine and beer on draft round out the experience, with the beverage program featuring everything from Matcha Martinis to specialty non-alcoholic offerings, while desserts include made-to-order gelato. At the new Brentwood location, the minimalist space is highlighted by an impressive wrap-around sushi counter that anchors the room, where guests can sit surrounding the chefs as hand rolls are prepared moments before serving. Creamy marble countertops, light wood paneling and soft neutral tones create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and inviting—sleek and elegant, but still energetic and approachable. While Benoliel may have pioneered the now increasingly popular open-style hand roll concept in Los Angeles—there have already been copycats—his ingredients remain what truly set Sora apart. “I use premium supplies, produce and most of my fish is flown in from the Tokyo or Kyoto fish markets in Japan, along with my rice and seaweed,” he says. “The quality is everything.” After opening the original Sora a little over a year ago as a tiny rooftop space tucked inside The Original Farmers Market, Benoliel was eager to grow the concept to Brentwood. The first location quickly developed a devoted following despite its compact 900-square-foot footprint and intimate 12-seat sushi counter. The new Brentwood restaurant expands the concept dramatically into a 2,500-square-foot space in the former Contempo Floor Coverings location, now divided between Sora and neighboring Layla Bagels. The dining room seats roughly 80 guests indoors, including the 36-seat wrap-around temaki bar and a separate 12-seat beverage bar, alongside additional banquette seating

“Sora was such a success, I didn’t want to wait. I always wanted to be in Brentwood.”

and a lively outdoor patio designed for long summer evenings. A walk-up cocktail window opening onto the patio adds to the breezy, social atmosphere. “Sora was such a success, I didn’t want to wait,” says Benoliel. “I always wanted to be in Brentwood. It’s a village in a big city. You’re 15 minutes from the water, or 15 minutes from the city—it’s right in the middle. The clientele is amazing, the community is good and it’s safe. I just love it, and I’d love to live here.” While the Brentwood location is much larger, Benoliel intentionally kept many of the same finishes and materials as the original, including engineered wood flooring and Taj Mahal stone countertops. The neutral palette and pared-down aesthetic feels clean and modern but still relaxed and energetic—more reminiscent of a lively Tokyo izakaya than a formal omakase experience.

An assortment of dishes and vibrant cocktails

Benoliel moved to Los Angeles about 10 years ago after selling his successful wholesale bakery business, Macaron, in Miami. “I had a non-compete on the East Coast,” he says. With clients ranging from Air France and Qantas to Disneyworld and Disneyland, it was time to head west. “I was going to take a year off work and just chill,” he recalls. Turns out, being idle is not in Benoliel’s DNA. After arriving in Los Angeles in 2016, he quickly launched a new bakery and hospitality business, eventually adding clients including The Peninsula, Beverly Wilshire, The West Hollywood Edition and Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. Growing up in Paris with Algerian-Jewish parents, Benoliel’s culinary zeal began early. “I cooked all the time with my grandmother since I was six or seven years old,” he recalls. “We made all the Middle Eastern food from scratch. I really fell in love with food because of her.” Benoliel began his career in New York and later moved to Miami, where he oversaw as many as 16 restaurants, including 14 branches of Le Boudoir French bistro, while operating a massive wholesale bakery business servicing luxury hotels throughout Florida. In Los Angeles, Benoliel opened Michelina Bakery at The Original Farmers Market before expanding into additional retail concepts there, including the popular Savta pizza concept and eventually Sora. He later sold the wholesale arm of the company to Rick Caruso shortly before the pandemic, beginning what has

become an ongoing partnership. Today, Savta Hospitality operates concepts tied to several Caruso properties, including The Grove and The Americana at Brand, with additional projects already in development, including multiple eateries planned for Caruso’s upcoming Lakes project in Thousand Oaks—and reportedly Palisades Village as well. Benoliel’s wife, jewelry designer Laura Sayan, also has a pop-up at The Americana and showcases her designs at Rosewood Miramar Beach in Montecito, another Caruso property. “It’s not only Rick—it’s the whole team,” says Benoliel of the tight relationship. “I’m very close to them. He has a beautiful team, and they’ve all been with him for 20-plus years.” He says many of them still regularly visit his restaurants at The Grove. But for now, Benoliel’s focus is firmly on Brentwood—and if the lively crowds and packed sushi counter are any indication, Sora has already become one of the neighborhood’s biggest dining hits. Between the flowing cocktails, warm interiors and hand rolls arriving as fresh as can be, the restaurant feels less like simply another sushi spot and more like the kind of transportive dining experience people immediately want to return to again and again.

MAISON SISLEY DEBUTS AN INTIMATE RETREAT DEVOTED TO SKINCARE, WELLNESS AND FRENCH ELEGANCE IN THE HEART OF BRENTWOOD

FROM PARIS,

WITH LOVE

Maison Sisley at The Lawn

There’s a new beauty destination drawing insiders to San Vicente—and it feels as though a little piece of Paris has quietly arrived on the westside. Tucked inside the buzzy new development The Lawn, the recently opened Maison Sisley brings the iconic French beauty house’s signature blend of luxury, wellness and botanical expertise to Brentwood in an intimate, highly elevated setting. Equal parts skincare sanctuary, Parisian boutique and lifestyle experience, the space marks Sisley Paris’ first California boutique and sixth freestanding location in the United States.

S ELF CA R E | HEALTH + WE LLN E SS

For Sisley, the location felt like a natural fit. “Los Angeles has always been such a strong market for us, and The Lawn in Brentwood offers the perfect setting for the brand, bringing together luxury and community in one place,” says James Maki, President of Sisley Paris USA. “The clientele is engaged, wellness-minded and deeply aligned with what Sisley stands for, making it a very natural next step.” Designed as an indoor-outdoor destination centered around wellness, luxury retail and community, The Lawn has quickly become one of the westside’s most talked-about new developments. Alongside Maison Sisley, upcoming concepts include cult-favorite café Community Goods, while rumors continue to swirl about a possible Sant Ambroeus opening—an ideal pairing for the storied French brand. Founded in Paris in 1976 by Isabelle and Hubert d’Ornano, Sisley has long occupied a rarefied place in the beauty world, revered for combining scientific innovation with phytotherapy and aromatherapy—using botanical extracts and essential oils to create exceptionally effective skincare. Now led by the founders’ son, Philippe d’Ornano, the family-owned company has built an intensely loyal following around the globe over the decades, becoming synonymous with luxurious formulations, meticulous craftsmanship and understated French elegance. That heritage is woven thoughtfully throughout the Brentwood Maison. At 1,120 square feet, the space balances that classic elegance with the airy warmth and ease that define contemporary Los Angeles living. Affectionately nicknamed

the “Petite Maison,” the intimate outpost was envisioned as a refined one-stop beauty destination. “The decor for each Maison around the world is hand selected by the d’Ornano family and tailored to each city where it is located,” says Maki. “The Maison at The Lawn was designed with the Los Angeles customer in mind, blending our Parisian heritage with the California lifestyle to create a truly elevated beauty experience.” Inside, the boutique feels transportive from the moment guests walk through the doors. An illuminated hand-painted lampshade by Elzbieta Radziwill—niece of Sisley’s founders— is emblazoned with the words “City of Stars,” while sculptural golden Ginkgo leaves behind the front desk trace the Maison’s signature “S.” Soft lighting, warm neutral tones and intimate seating areas create the feeling of a private Parisian apartment rather than a traditional beauty boutique. A dedicated consultation table allows for personalized skincare and makeup guidance, while a tucked-away fragrance lounge invites guests to linger and discover the house’s signature scents. Beyond the retail space, two private treatment rooms offer what may be the Maison’s most luxurious experience. Decorated with hand-painted “Cellules” wallpaper inspired by legendary French designer Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann and created by the renowned Atelier

d’Offard, the rooms feel serene, cocoon-like and deeply transporting. Installations of Ginkgo leaves—a key ingredient in Sisley’s iconic Sisleÿa collection—add another layer of symbolism and texture. Even the bathroom continues the storytelling, wrapped in a collage of archival Sisley press clippings and advertisements that quietly celebrate the house’s illustrious history. The Maison was intentionally designed to showcase every facet of the Sisley universe—from skincare and makeup to fragrance and Hair Rituel by Sisley—allowing clients to experience the brand holistically under one roof. There are even dedicated hair stations for blowouts

and styling and personalized consultation areas. “What makes this space so special is that customers can enjoy a complete beauty experience all in one visit,” Maki explains. “You can receive a signature facial and a blowdry and styling all in one place. We also provide makeup application services for special occasions.” Among the standout offerings are Sisley’s highly specialized facial treatments, each tailored to specific skincare concerns. Signature experiences include the Black Rose Radiance Facial featuring a pink quartz stone massage, the Sisleÿa anti-aging facial with Ginkgo Gua Sha, an exclusive anti-aging facial for men featuring basalt stones and the Phyto-Blanc treatment designed to target radiance and dark spots. The Maison also offers the full breadth of Sisley’s coveted product universe, from its iconic skincare and color cosmetics to fragrances, candles and home essentials. Shelves are lined with the brand’s cult-favorite collections, phyto-powered anti-aging treatments and elegant makeup compacts, alongside luxurious hand washes, lotions and scented candles that make equally chic hostess or housewarming gifts. The boutique’s intimate scale allows clients to discover the offerings in a far more personal and immersive way than a traditional department store counter. The Hair Rituel by Sisley program is another major draw, extending the brand’s holistic philosophy into scalp and haircare through luxurious treatments, blowouts and

Launched in 2018, the line applies Sisley Paris’ expertise in plant extracts, essential oils, vitamins and minerals to hair and scalp health—bringing the same elevated approach to beauty from head to toe. Clients can also reserve the Maison for private events, beauty workshops and intimate gatherings, adding another layer of exclusivity and community to the experience. Ultimately, however, what makes the Brentwood Maison feel so compelling is the way it balances luxury with intimacy. Despite Sisley’s global prestige, the Petite Maison feels warm, personal and distinctly neighborhood-oriented—very much in keeping with Brentwood itself. And for a brand rooted in Parisian beauty culture, that sense of community was intentional. “Brentwood is our sixth boutique in the U.S., but it is certainly not our last,” says Maki. “We’re excited to continue growing our footprint and bringing the Maison Sisley experience to more top cities across North America.” For now, though, Brentwood gets to enjoy this little piece of Paris all to itself.

BRENTWOOD TASTEMAKER JENNI KAYNE HAS TRANSFORMED A DISTINCTLY WESTSIDE WAY OF LIVING INTO A GLOBAL LIFESTYLE EMPIRE—WITHOUT EVER LOSING SIGHT OF HOME Jenni Kayne with pieces from her new Business & Pleasure Co. collaboration

CALIFORNIA CALLING 36

FASH ION F OR WA R D | STYLE + BE AU T Y

In a Brentwood canyon tucked beneath towering sycamores and oak trees, Jenni Kayne begins most days at home. Before meetings, store visits and the rhythms of family life pull her across Los Angeles, there is soft light filtering through glass walls, nature just outside every window and the idyllic surroundings that have shaped her aesthetic for decades. “I’m a quintessential California designer,” Jenni says. “I feel really rooted and really at home here. For me, it always goes back to nature and the landscape.”

something people are trying to achieve no matter where they are in the world.” Raised between Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, Jenni grew up immersed in a distinctly Los Angeles creative and entrepreneurial sphere. Her father, Richard Kayne, co-founded the influential investment firm Kayne Anderson, while her mother, Suzanne, became deeply involved in philanthropy and the arts. Together, they raised three daughters who would each pursue creative paths. Sister Maggie Kayne became a prominent figure in

“I’M A QUINTESSENTIAL CALIFORNIA DESIGNER. I FEEL REALLY ROOTED AND REALLY AT HOME HERE. FOR ME, IT ALWAYS GOES BACK TO NATURE AND THE LANDSCAPE.” That feeling—understated, grounded and deeply connected to place—has become the foundation of one of the most quietly influential lifestyle brands to emerge from Los Angeles in the last two decades. What began as a small fashion line launched by Jenni at 19 has evolved into an expansive empire spanning clothing, interiors, beauty and design. And while the brand now has an international reach, its DNA remains unmistakably local. Jenni has steadily helped to define the modern California aesthetic: relaxed but refined, luxurious without feeling flashy and deeply connected to nature. Her latest book, Pacific Natural Everywhere—her third released by Rizzoli— cements that philosophy. The beautifully photographed volume explores how the restraint, ease and indoor-outdoor sensibility associated with California living can translate globally, from Wyoming and Colorado to Portugal and New Zealand. Organized around natural materials including Aspen, Pine, Oak and Ryegrass, the book examines homes where architecture and nature exist in humble conversation with one another. “It was really clear that it was a feeling,” Jenni says of the book’s central idea. “This idea of California living everywhere. I think that’s

the contemporary art world through her gallery Kayne Griffin Corcoran—which merged with Pace Gallery in 2022—while Saree Kayne focused on anthropology and philanthropic work through the family foundation. Surrounded by artists, collectors, architects and designers from an early age, Jenni developed a visual vocabulary rooted in California sensibility. She attended Crossroads School in Santa Monica, where she says her creativity was deeply nurtured through the school’s artistic environment. “I was definitely more creative and artistic than academic,” she says with a laugh. “Traditional school was not for me.” Jenni knew from childhood that she wanted to become a fashion designer, and soon after graduation, she launched her namesake brand in 2002. Initially conceived as a conventional readyto-wear label, Jenni Kayne quickly became known for elevated essentials and impeccably understated knitwear—pieces that embodied the ease of West Coast dressing at a time when Los Angeles fashion was still often dismissed as too casual to be taken seriously. “People used to make fun of California,” Jenni says. “Designers weren’t taken as seriously if you were from LA. But I embraced that idea of jeans and a T-shirt. I think there’s a restraint and CONTINUED >

an effortlessness to living here.” Long before “quiet luxury” entered the cultural lexicon, Jenni was building a brand around timeless neutrals, tactile materials and the idea of personal style that lasts season after season. “I really believe in building a uniform,” she says. “Clothes should be able to take you throughout your day.” As Jenni herself evolved into motherhood and family life, the brand evolved with her. After years of runway shows and wholesale distribution, Jenni shifted toward direct-to-consumer retail and immersive lifestyle spaces. Today, Jenni Kayne boutiques feel less like fashion stores and more like complete expressions of the brand’s worldview, with her signature cocoon sweaters and silk slips displayed alongside candles, furniture, shoes, handbags and cashmere throws. Nowhere does that vision feel more at home than in Brentwood. Jenni first opened at the Brentwood Country Mart in 2012 with an apparel-focused boutique. A decade later, the brand expanded with a dedicated Jenni Kayne Home store, creating a fuller representation of the lifestyle brand she has spent years building. “I can’t even imagine having a store somewhere else,” Jenni says of the Country Mart. “It’s such a staple on the westside.” The connection runs deep. Growing up, Jenni remembers coming to the Country Mart for Reddi-Chick baskets and fries—traditions now shared with her own children. She credits longtime owner Jim Rosenfield with preserving the integrity and intimacy that make the Mart feel uniquely local despite its cultural cachet. “There’s something for everybody,” she says. “If you live in Brentwood, you end up there way more than you think you will.” Despite overseeing a rapidly expanding company, Jenni and her husband, real estate agent Richard Ehrlich, remain deeply rooted in home life. They live with their three children in their Brentwood canyon property, which is featured in Pacific Natural Everywhere. Designed in collaboration with acclaimed Belgian architect Vincent Van Duysen, with landscaping by Christine London, the home became a major inspiration for the book itself. The property’s mature oak trees helped dictate the home’s layout, while soft native grasses were planted as an homage to the area’s natural terrain. A lifelong equestrian, Jenni has long felt deeply connected to animals, and the family home reflects that spirit, with horses, goats, a donkey and other pets woven into daily life on the grounds. “You would never know you’re in Brentwood,” Jenni says. “That’s what I love about it. You have access to the westside and the convenience, but it feels magical and quiet.” Like many of the residences featured in her book, the property is centered around the relationship between architecture and nature. Glass walls open outward from nearly every room, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. “When you walk into your house, you want your shoulders to drop,” Jenni says. “You want to feel like you can live in your space.” That same philosophy of comfort, simplicity and connection continues to shape the brand’s evolution. Jenni Kayne has since expanded into furniture, interiors, tabletop, children’s clothing and wellness. Oak Essentials, the company’s clean skincare line, has quickly developed a devoted following for its spa-like formulations and emphasis on ritual and simplicity. The brand has also launched a budding interiors division designing homes and

“WHEN YOU WALK INTO YOUR HOUSE, YOU WANT YOUR SHOULDERS TO DROP. YOU WANT TO FEEL LIKE YOU CAN LIVE IN YOUR SPACE.” hospitality-style projects around the world, including a farmhouse in Hudson Valley, New York and Te Arai Links in New Zealand, where her parents now reside. At the same time, Jenni continues to grow internationally. Earlier this year, Jenni Kayne launched shipping across Canada, Europe, Australia and additional global markets, reflecting increasing demand abroad. “I think California living really is an ethos that can translate anywhere,” she says. That perspective also informed the brand’s recent collaboration with fellow Southern California company Business & Pleasure Co.—a collection of umbrellas, seating and outdoor accessories that extends the Jenni Kayne aesthetic into exterior spaces. Travel, too, remains a major source of inspiration creatively. While she and her husband describe themselves as homebodies who prefer entertaining friends to nights out, she speaks passionately about the places that continue to shape her worldview. Her favorite California escapes include San Ysidro Ranch, Sea Ranch, Ojai Valley Inn and Rancho Valencia, while destinations like New Zealand, Montana, Colorado and Amangiri have similarly informed her appreciation for nature-driven design and slower living. “I think travel has a huge impact on creativity,” she says. “When you’re relaxed and not stressed and busy is when you’re most creative.” Still, no matter how global the brand becomes, its emotional center remains Los Angeles—and the westside point-of-view that shaped Jenni from the beginning. Natural materials, thoughtful spaces, understated clothing and slower living: from her Brentwood home, that once-local philosophy has slowly and surely become worldwide.

IN GOOD HANDS Emily Webb Doskow of Webb & Baker

Emily Webb Doskow of Webb & Baker is quietly redefining luxury home management through highly personalized oversight, trusted relationships and meticulous attention to detail ARTICLE BY AMANDA EBERSTEIN PHOTOGRAPHY BY TRISH ALISON

EXP E RT H E LP | HO M E SE RVICE S

Emily Webb Doskow has always been someone who pays attention. Long before she launched Webb & Baker, the Brentwoodbased home and estate management company quietly redefining what luxury property oversight can look like in Los Angeles, Doskow built her career behind the scenes—first in television

Webb & Baker will oversee all aspects of managing a home

“Luxury homes have become increasingly complicated to manage, and I thought homeowners could benefit from a high level of expertise and support—without the need to build a full in-house team.” and magazine publishing in New York, then managing the homes and operations of ultra-high-net-worth families with residences across the country and abroad. But even then, what fascinated her most wasn’t status or spectacle. It was systems. Relationships. The invisible details that make a home feel seamless, cared for and calm. “I started Webb & Baker after realizing there was a real gap in the market,” Doskow says. “Luxury homes have become increasingly complicated to manage, and I kept thinking about homeowners with just one property who could benefit from this same level of expertise and support—without the need to build a full in-house team.” That understanding of home feels deeply personal for Doskow, whose relationship to Los Angeles began with a leap of faith. In 2015, she and her husband left behind a full life in New York and moved west with their one-and-a-half-year-old twin boys in search of

more space, nature and possibility. “We were really happy in New York, but we felt drawn to California and knew we’d regret not trying it,” says Doskow. “We both sensed that if we didn’t do it, our lives would be a little bit smaller.” After renting in Santa Monica, the family eventually found what felt like their dream home in Pacific Palisades—a house perched north of Sunset Boulevard with sweeping views of both a vineyard and the Pacific Ocean. It was the quintessential westside fantasy: raising children near the beach and mountains, surrounded by beauty and community. And Doskow quickly fell in love with Los Angeles. “The wonders of LA just never get old,” she says. “The architecture, the Santa Monica Mountains, the ocean, the palm trees—it still takes my breath away.” That chapter of idyllic Palisades life was profoundly disrupted in January 2025, when the fires CONTINUED > JULY 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E .

swept through the community. Doskow’s home survived but sustained damage, and the family is currently renting nearby while navigating insurance and remediation. Like many residents, the experience has reshaped her understanding of home in deeply emotional ways. “It’s hard to explain how much this experience has strengthened friendships and community,” she says. “You realize that home is so much more than a structure.” Long before building a life in Los Angeles, however, Doskow’s career began in New York. After college, she moved to Manhattan and started working at ABC Newsin production, later serving as longtime White House correspondent Sam Donaldson’s assistant before transitioning into magazine publishing at Lucky during its iconic early-2000s era. But as her career evolved, she found herself unexpectedly drawn toward estate management and private household operations—a field blending logistics, hospitality and problem-solving in equal measure. For more than a decade, Doskow held senior roles with single family offices, overseeing luxury properties in London, St. Barth, Aspen, New York City, the Hamptons and Los Angeles. The experience gave her a rare behind-the-scenes understanding of how much coordination goes into making a home run seamlessly. “People want to feel that someone competent, thoughtful and accountable is truly paying attention,” she says. That realization became the foundation for Webb & Baker. Named partly after Doskow’s maiden name and partly after Caroline Baker, the legendary London-based estate manager who became both mentor and partner, Webb & Baker was designed to provide highly personalized home oversight in a more flexible and modern way. Today, the company manages properties throughout Los Angeles while also supporting clients with second homes in destinations like Ojai and Montecito, with additional aid from Baker available in New York, London, Paris and beyond. Services range from vendor management and maintenance oversight to accounting, staffing, project management and emergency response. And in many ways, the company feels tailor-made for summer travel season. “We manage homes, so the care is consistent whether the owner is there or not,” Doskow says. “People should be able to travel without quietly worrying about what’s happening.” For Webb & Baker clients, that can mean everything from weekly property visits and emergency troubleshooting to fully customized post-departure and pre-arrival preparation. After owners leave town, the team resets the property entirely—protecting artwork, securing outdoor furniture, monitoring

Webb & Baker will protect art and other valuables during travel or in case of an emergency

systems and preparing the home for extended absence. Before clients return, Webb & Baker shifts into hospitality mode, overseeing deep cleaning, refreshing pantry inventory, preparing fireplaces, stocking toiletries, arranging flowers and adjusting HVAC systems so the home feels seamless upon arrival. The level of detail is exhaustive, but intentionally so. “Owning a beautiful home is rewarding, but it can also become surprisingly overwhelming,” says longtime client Jason Kakoyiannis. “Emily and her team naturally remove that stress. They’re proactive, incredibly dependable and genuinely care about the people they work with.” “A home is often one of the most significant investments a person will make, and protecting that investment requires consistent care and attention,” adds Brentwood real estate agent Shelton Wilder, who regularly recommends Webb & Baker to clients. “Webb & Baker understands that a well-cared-for home isn’t just about maintenance—it’s about giving people the freedom to truly enjoy living there without the stress of managing it themselves.” At the center of the operation alongside Doskow is facilities manager Juan Padilla, a former custom-home site superintendent whose understanding of residential systems has become invaluable to clients. Together, the pair oversees a vast network of experts ranging from electricians, plumbers and AV consultants to landscapers, roofers, security specialists and fire mitigation teams. Doskow’s carefully cultivated “little black book” includes some of the most sought-after talents in Los Angeles. Take floral designer Brenda Berkley, whose arrangements grace the homes of the city’s most discerning families. “I work with a lot of estate managers, and there is no one like Emily,” says Berkley. “She is just

so thoughtful and amazing.” For Doskow, those trusted relationships are at the heart of what makes the company work. “Luxury homes are living systems,” she says. “There are so many moving parts, and small issues can quickly become major problems if no one is paying attention.” Sometimes, the work extends far beyond traditional property management. Webb & Baker has coordinated renovations, sourced domestic staff, installed owl boxes and beehives, overseen smart-home upgrades and developed emergency preparedness plans for clients concerned about future fires or disasters. One memorable Los Angeles client with an organic farm in Ojai wanted fresh milk, so Webb & Baker helped source a pregnant cow for the property. Soon afterward, the family became concerned the cow might be lonely, prompting the team to locate a companion cow, oversee construction of a custom shed, hire caretakers and establish an entire care system for the animals. “We built the team to support the dream,” Doskow says, laughing. The anecdote may be whimsical, but it perfectly captures what makes Webb & Baker so unique: the company adapts entirely to the lives, routines and priorities of each client. For Doskow, the work has never simply been about maintaining houses. It is about creating ease, trust and the freedom for people to fully enjoy the homes—and lives—they have worked so hard to build.

Summer Seafood Gazpacho

A REFRESHING, CHILLED, SUMMER FORWARD SOUP THAT PACKS IN PROTEIN AND FIBER! 48

C ULIN A RY C R E AT ION S | F OOD + BE VE RAGE

Ingredients:

(yields ~8 C gazpacho) • • • • • • • • This summer seafood gazpacho screams summer and is the perfect, refreshing meal, snack or appetizer to beat the heat - whether you’re entertaining or enjoying a quiet meal with family. It’s packed with some of the season’s most flavorful produce and provides satisfying fiber and protein to help keep you feeling full, while still being light enough to enjoy on the hottest of summer days. Plus, there is no need to turn on the oven or the stove, keeping your kitchen (and you) cool as a cucumber! You can enjoy this chilled soup as is, or add toppings like chopped jalapeños, cilantro, or creme fraiche and scoop it up with tortilla chips!

8 large tomatoes 1 large cucumber 2 cloves garlic 1 small sweet onion 1 jalapeño pepper ½ tsp hot sauce 3 Tbsp lemon juice 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

• • • • • •

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar 1 ¼ tsp kosher salt ½ tsp ground black pepper 2 Tbsp parsley (fresh or dried) 8 oz lump crab meat 8 oz cooked shrimp, chilled (about 8-12 large shrimp)

*Optional suggested toppings include: cilantro, tortilla chips, chopped jalapeños, creme fraiche, or additional parsley.

Directions: 1. Cut tomatoes into large chunks, approximately 6-8 pieces each. Set aside. 2. Slice cucumber into thick slices. Set aside. 3. Mince garlic. Set aside. 4. Chop onion into medium sized pieces. Set aside. 5. Slice jalapeño pepper in half, lengthwise. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat. Chop jalapeño pepper and set aside. 6. Add tomatoes to large food processor. You may need to add about half of the tomatoes, pulse for a few seconds and then add the remaining tomatoes depending on the size of your food processor. Pulse tomatoes until chunky and slightly pureed. You will continue to puree the tomatoes once the additional ingredients are added, so do not pulse until completely smooth. 7. Add remaining vegetables (cucumber, garlic, onion, jalapeño pepper) to food processor with the tomatoes. Add hot sauce, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and parsley. Replace the lid and pulse to desired consistency – the gazpacho should be pureed, but still somewhat chunky and not completely smooth. 8. Store in an airtight container and chill in the fridge for at least one hour before serving. If not serving right away, this gazpacho can be made in advance and stored in the fridge overnight or for a few days until ready to serve. If making this gazpacho in advance, purchase fresh seafood or thaw frozen within 1 day of serving to keep seafood fresh and store seafood separately, only adding when ready to serve. When ready to serve, chop the shrimp and add approximately 1-2 oz chopped shrimp and ~1 oz crab meat to each bowl. You can add optional toppings, such as chopped cilantro, chopped jalapeños, tortilla chips, creme fraiche and an additional sprinkle of parsley, if preferred. Enjoy!

Note: This gazpacho can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up for 4 days, without the seafood. Store seafood separately and add when ready to consume.

The 10% Target Mindset

MAKEUP BY MIKAYLA CRANE

Jen Cohen ON THE PRACTICE OF ASKING FOR WHAT YOU WANT

Winnipeg in the winter, and a 17-year-old waits 45 minutes in the cold for Keanu Reeves. Her fingers are numb. She is not there for an autograph. She is there to ask him to appear in her audition tape for MuchMusic, Canada’s MTV. When he finally agrees, she writes her number on a gum wrapper with a borrowed lip liner. He calls days later. That 17-year-old was Jen Cohen — fitness expert, host of the Habits & Hustle podcast, and best-selling author. She has built a career on the premise her frostbitten afternoon proved. She calls the practice the 10% Target: 10 attempts at whatever you want most in life. The premise is simple. Most people never make one attempt. Almost nobody makes two. The math works in favor of the person who keeps going. The top-rated Habits & Hustle podcast has logged hundreds of conversations with high performers and the people who study what the body does to the mind. Her TEDx talk, The Secret to Getting Anything You Want in Life, has traveled widely inside Fortune 500 sales-training rooms. On the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Cohen sits down to share the working rules that are the foundation of her latest book, Bigger, Better, Bolder.

“You have to be the CEO of your own life.”

MAKE TEN ATTEMPTS The door opens, or another door does. The unmade attempt and the refused one leave you in the same place — except one of them teaches you something.

STACK THE DECK Cohen frames her habits as a wager: How do I stack the deck so I win more than I lose? The workout happens first, and the food decisions follow. The email follow-up gets sent, and the answer arrives. The choices compound in a single direction.

DISCIPLINE IS A PRACTICED SKILL, NOT AN INHERITANCE No one is born with it. The people who look disciplined are running a routine they have rehearsed long enough that it no longer feels like effort. The reps are the skill. Miss them, and the skill fades, the same as any other.

SELF-TALK ONLY WORKS WHEN THE BODY BACKS IT UP Confidence does not arrive by repeating the word. It arrives after the body has done the thing — the workout finished, the cold walk endured, the email sent. The mind takes its cues from what the body proves it can do. Talk follows action, not the other way around.

NEVER MISS A MONDAY The first decision sets the slope of the rest. Skip the Monday workout, and the rest of the week tends to follow. Hold the line on Monday, and the slope tilts the other way.

Taking Off From curbside terminal service to VIP concierge offerings, LAX Valet Service is helping westsiders travel well

L A X VA LET S E RV I C E 8929 S. SEPULVEDA BLVD., #205 310-773-4956 LAXVALETSERVICE.COM

For many Los Angeles travelers, the stress of a trip begins long before boarding the plane. Between traffic, parking structures and the overall chaos of LAX, simply getting to the terminal can feel like an ordeal. That’s exactly the problem Sean Shilleh set out to solve when he founded LAX Valet Service, a luxury airport valet company designed to make travel seamless from start to finish. Clients drive their own vehicles directly to the airport while still receiving a concierge-style experience, complete with curbside terminal drop-off and pick-up, secure parking near LAX and additional vehicle services while they travel. For families, the service can be especially valuable, allowing parents to travel easily with car seats, strollers, luggage and children without the hassle of coordinating rideshares or multiple cars. “What really sets us apart is the convenience and consistency,” says Shilleh. We spoke with Shilleh about how the service works and why so many local clients have come to depend on it.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO START LAX VALET SERVICE?

I spent years working in the valet and hospitality industry, so creating a seamless customer experience has always been important to me. For years, I would personally drive my wife and mother to the airport and handle all of the logistics for them. Over time, I realized how valuable that kind of service could be for everyone. I wanted to create a business that makes travel feel easier, smoother and more enjoyable from start to finish.

WHAT MAKES YOUR BUSINESS STAND OUT FROM ANYTHING ELSE IN THE MARKET?

The convenience, consistency and personalized service we provide. Instead of dealing with the headache of airport parking, our clients can simply pull up directly to their terminal, hand off their vehicle and walk straight inside. We pride ourselves on reliability and making the process feel effortless and worry-free every time.

WALK US THROUGH THE PROCESS. HOW DOES LAX VALET SERVICE WORK?

It’s designed to be as simple and seamless as possible. On the day of travel, clients text us when they are about 10 minutes away from LAX, and one of our drivers meets them directly at their terminal curbside so they can immediately head inside. While they are away, their vehicle is stored in a secure off-site facility near LAX.

WHAT IS THE PICK-UP PROCESS LIKE WHEN CLIENTS RETURN HOME?

We monitor return flights and coordinate the vehicle’s arrival directly to the terminal curbside so everything is ready as soon as clients land. Clients simply walk outside, meet our driver, load their luggage and head home.

WHAT ADDITIONAL SERVICES DO YOU OFFER WHILE CLIENTS ARE TRAVELING?

We offer car washes, complete auto detailing, gas fill-ups, oil changes and EV charging so the car is fully ready when clients return. We can also coordinate offsite vehicle delivery to another location, airport or even back home if needed.

DO YOU OFFER ANY CONCIERGE SERVICES BEYOND VALET PARKING?

Curbside drop off

LOCA LS ON LY | TRAVEL

Yes, we offer several VIP concierge experiences for clients looking for an even more seamless way to navigate LAX. Offerings include curbside greeting, baggage assistance and escort through security or baggage claim. We can include private suites, lounges and BMW transportation directly to the plane. It’s the ultimate luxury travel experience.
